You don't even need the full set of integers to catalogue the library, let alone the reals.
- jazzyjackson 5y agoWhat I was trying to say was, since there are an infinite number of real numbers between each pair of integers, there would be a similarly infinite number of garbage text between each pair of legible texts. Even though there are an infinite number of integers, there are an even more infinite number of reals, rendering the proportion of (integers)/(reals) to be near 0.
